I moved my BCM database, and am trying to access it through Outlook; I go to
'data file management' to add a database, choose 'select an existing
database'. It correctly lists the name of my computer, but the options for
"database name" does not include my BCM. How do I add my existing database to
list?

Thanks in advance for anybody's help!

Thanks - I think we are 1/2 there! I renamed the database, and Outlook opened
with that BCM accessible: but there are no contacts or accounts in it! The
_log.LDF file says it is 1,329,600 KB in size though, so the information is
there, just not being read...or something...Any other suggestions?
